Do I have the NVIDIA/logic board problem? Nov 2007 MacBook Pro 2.4?
I am new to this forum so looking for some guidence. We bought a MacBook Pro in November 2007 and incidentally bought apple car plan which has now expired. A couple of weeks ago the Macbook Pro just switched off - it was quite hot. We let it cool down and tried to reboot but the sinning gear just froze. We assumed it was a problem with a fan and took it to an apple registered repair centre, who were unable to boot it saying that the diagnosis was that the logic board had failed.
I was not aware until some recent web searches that there had been a problem with the Macbook Pro's from this period and so we had not had anything on this machine replaced. The reapir centre estimated cost of replacing the logic board was approaching £1000 so we decided it was not worth the cost for this machine and bought a new one.
Having read some recent discussions I am not sure whether we would qualify for any replacement or reduced costs to get the 2007 MacBook Pro back in service given that our plan protection plan has expired. I assume but am not sure if this MacBook Pro had the NVIDIA/logic board in question as it does't detail in our order spec but I do have its serial number so is there any way I could check. Any advice on any of this would be gratefully received
